being taken; 
(b)
permit the independent solicitor to enter the premises but not to start

pending resolution of the dispute or further order of the Court. 
16. Before removing any listed things from the premises (other than things 
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph), the independent 
solicitor must supply a list of them to you, give you a reasonable time to

a copy of the list signed by the independent solicitor. 
17. The premises must not be searched, and things must not be removed from 
the premises, except in the presence of you or of a person who appears to 
the independent solicitor to be your director, officer, partner, employee, 
agent or other person acting on your behalf or on your instructions.

things to be removed without full compliance.
